Batteries Not Included

These are messages "for those who have discovered that batteries are not included in life, and who long to live power-filled lives." That is the vision behind these thirteen inspirational sermons from Robert Beringer, designed to help you empower your congregation with the energy of the Spirit.

Within these pages are sermons for every Cycle C gospel text during the first third of the Pentecost season from the Common, Lutheran, and Roman Catholic lectionaries, including:
- Promises, Promises
- Where Do We Find God?
- Making People Whole
- By the Hair of the Sinner
- Excuses
- Power to the People
and seven more.

Use these complete sermons as they are presented -- or as inspiration for your own empowering messages.
